I was really excited when Art.com approached me to do a review of their new service Photos to Art. If there is one thing I love- it’s Photos. I always want things documented and then I love getting the pictures framed and placing them around our apartment. It makes it feel like home. Art.com was kind enough to give me a gift certificate to use to try out the service.
I thought the site was very easy to use. You can upload any pictures you would like and then see how they would look in each of the print choices they have. I am not a huge fan of photos printed on canvas but that is just me. I absolutely LOVE the acrylic option but it is a little pricey. I went with the wood mounted choice. It “permanently bonds images to a 1/4 inch thick piece of stabilized hardboard. The surface is treated to protect against moisture, dust, dirt, fingerprints, and protects against UV comparable to standard glass.” I ordered 2 wood mounted prints. One 16″x24 and one 11″x14″. They arrived very quickly and were protectively shipped. I was so excited to open them up. I LOVE them!!! They came out great. I will definitely be using art.com again to get photos turned into wall art. I think it will be a great present idea for future birthdays and mothers (grandmothers) day.
Anyways. Art.com would like to offer a $50 gift code to one lucky reader to use to create their own photos to art print. All you need to do is head over to Art.com, check things out and leave a comment letting us know what print choice is your favorite (wood mounting, canvas, acrylic, etc.). Any ideas of what you want printed? We’d love to hear in your comment as well!
The giveaway will run from now until next Monday. Winner will be randomly chosen and emailed Monday evening.
Good Luck!
yes, please!!! Beautimous!
Love the acrylic! You’re right, it’s pricey but what a unique way to display your photos. It may be worth getting for my little baby girl’s newborn pictures!
What a cool giveaway! I like the canvas option the best.
Thanks!
i love this! i really want to try the wood mounting. our Christmas card photo would look great on that.
Lovely photos! I’m diggin the wood mounting, would love to try one of mine on there.
i like the wood mounting too, would look so nice with our decor.
thanks, great giveaway.
ohh, wood mounting is awesome. But if I could I would spend the extra money on the acrylic.
I really like the wood mount and would get one of my wedding photos printed.
Canvas…. plus I’ve been wanting to get a picture of the moon landing. I was born that day 🙂
I’d love to wood-mount some photos for my anniversary! I’d also like to be able to do this for some of my film photography.
I love the idea of the acrylic printing. So glad you shared this website. I just went on a trip to Paris over Christmas and have some great photos I want to get printed.
i love the wood mounted photos…i’ve been wanting to have some permanent photos of my critters on the walls… what a great idea! 🙂
thanks so much,
Jessi
I LOVE the canvas option! I really would like a picture of my husband and me with our pet bunny on canvas for our living room !
Oh la la! Those photos are beautiful. I love having mine printed. 🙂
I love the wood-mount option! So simple, but elegant. I’d love to display some of my photography this way!
i love the photo on canvas, i think our wedding picture would be perfect!!!
love your picks. i think i would do print.

I love the acrylic look!
I have some great photos from traveling abroad that I’d love to frame and hang in my apartment.
My favorite print options would be either wood or acrylic. I would have a family photo or a print of my boys made if I won.
I am torn between the wood and the canvas.
I have a TON of pics I would love to hang!!!!
Mvelis@aol.com
this is great – i like the wood mounted prints
I would order my photos with the canvas option! I already have so many pics in mind. Pick me! Pick me!
Oh, I like the wood. We had some professional pictures taken in November and I would love to get one of those framed!
Oh I love the wood mounting the best! And I love your photo choices for yours. 🙂
I recently got married, and I’d love to have one of my wedding prints on the canvas option!
I love the way canvas wraps look! My husband and I had some engagement style pictures taken this past summer, and I would love to do one in a wrap style.
Honestly, I like a lot of them, but the wood ones are just spectacular – fingers crossed!!!
I love the wood, it has the feel of cabin life which I adore. I would put up one of the pictures from my families trip to Italy a few years ago – they make me happy every time.
I have been searching for a place that does photo to wood prints! Love this!!!
your wood mounted prints are so pretty…so I think I’d go with that! I’m not sure the photo I’d choose…maybe one of my sis and her fiance since they are getting married in a couple months? It would probably make a pretty sweet wedding gift!
Neato! I love canvas printed photos, I’ve been dying for some myself. I’d get some scenery shots changed over, I have some from Chicago that would be perfect for it 🙂
I love this!! I love the photos you chose!
I love the wood mounted!
I just adore the look of the wood mounting!
I’ve always wanted to see one of my photos on canvas. As a photographer, I think I’d have an incredibly hard time choosing. It would probably be a shot of some gorgeous flowers, Washington, DC, or birds flying in the sky. Oh, the possibilities! 🙂
love this! i really like how the wood mounting looks!
I loooove how your prints came out! I think I’d have to go with the wood printing also. As for the photo… I’m not too sure. Maybe a scenery/landscape shot from vacation…
awesome giveaway!
Love the canvas mounting. I would probably make a picture collage/illustration for the kids room!
I’m a big fan of the wood mounted option as well. It’s clean and simple. After 2 years of being with my love we still don’t have any framed or mounted photographs of us together.
It seems the wood mounted takes the cake, and I love how yours look. I think I would go that route too and get a picture of my dog in a bowtie mounted. Hes adorable when you can get him to sit still long enough to take a picture!
fun! I would agree on the wood mounted – looks nice and clean and crisp! thanks! I’ll be crossing my fingers! (and toes..and arms..and legs..)
I’m liking the wood mounted option. Would be a great valentines day gift!
I agree with you about the canvas prints, not my favorite. But the wood looks awesome! That is definitely what I would do if I win the $50!
i love the acrylic! i would get a picture of my boyfriend and i from two christmases ago. it’s a perfect picture and i’ve been trying to think of a perfect way to display it. 🙂
I’ve been wanting to do a canvas print for a while for my art wall!
I would definitely go the wood mounting route. It is not something that many other sites offer.
love the wood mount, i love your photos!!
Thanks for the giveaway. I like the Canvas.
I love the photos you chose to turn into prints! They are both such precious moments and they came out so well. I think you were right to go with the wood mounting, its so clean and classic. I would definitely choose the wood mounting for a print. I love this giveaway!
Wow, your pictures turned out great! The black & white is really nice on that wood mounting. After visiting the site, I think I would go with the wood mounting… I like it because it looks simple and classic. My husband and I have been wanting to get a really large print of a waterlily photo we took on a trip once to put up in our bedroom! That’s what I would do if I won.
Ohh I love the wood mounted! I have no idea what I would get printed though – maybe a photo of my new baby niece.
I’d love to send one of these printed on canvas to my mom. She just decided to repaint her hallways and it’s be great to give her something to hang up on her new walls!!
That is awesome! I love the acrylic, or after seeing your two photos, the wood mounting looks great too!
You’re right, the acrylic is gorgeous, but I I do also really like the canvas and wood options. It’s hard to decide which I like better. I’d probably do something black and white and put it in the room where all our books are. This is a great giveaway!
Love the framed canvas!
I love art.com. This is awesome! I’d love to have a family photo done! It’s been a rough year and I’m so appreciative of my husband and pets.
I think wood mounting for photos looks awesome – I would love some prints of my new baby!
Wow those turned out amazing! Very beautiful. I adore the acrylic print but I think the wood mounting is a really cool idea. I’d love to get this one picture of me and my son Oliver, 1 hour after he was born. He looks so beautiful in it and it’d be a great memory to have mounted as art! : )
I love the wood mounting and I have the perfect classic wedding picture of my husband and I walking out of the church that would look just lovely!
i love the wood option, this would (no pun intended) be great for a bunch of great shots I took in Ireland over the summer!
i love the canvas option…..definitely a picture of my little man
I would totally get the wood mounted print. I love that style and it holds up well. We had our baby boy in April and I would love to get a nice print to hang on our walls.
I have so many of my own photographs framed…and let’s be serious, it is an annoyingly time consuming process to do it myself and do it correctly. But custom framing is so expensive!
I would pick the classic frame for more of my own photos. You can see them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/julia_d/
Thanks for the opportunity!!
I think I like the wood mounting best. I would love to be able to get a picture of our baby (once s/he comes in August) printed out.
neat idea. i like the wood mounting.
Oh, I hope I win! The canvas option would be perfect for one of my wedding pictures!
jennywigdahl@gmail.com
this is awesome! i would use this photo of my boyfriend and i:
http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l91py3iiQR1qztnmv.jpg
I’m with you on this one – I think the wood mounted looks like a great option. I would use it to mount a photo of my new little nephew!!
I love the wood option! I think I would do one of our wedding photos. Love!!
I love the wood mounting, it looks so good!
I like the option you chose, the wood mounting! My boy is moving to Chicago for a year and I’d love to send him some great art to keep his place cozy while he’s away 🙂
I love the canvas print.
My boyfriend’s brother is an amazing photographer and there’s a photo of his i would LOVE to hang over our bed.
Honestly, I don’t have a favorite. I love them all for different reasons and I have different pictures in mind for each print style….is that bad?
i would choose wood mounting- so awesome!!
oh, i definitely need a picture for my mantel. thanks for posting about this site.
The wood mounted prints seem awesome. I like that they are so durable.
I love the wood mounted options!
Oooh!! What a great offer. I’ve been on the lookout for a good place to get some photos from Russia printed on (sorry, Jen:) canvas as souvenirs for family. I just absolutely love the look!
Definitely the wood mounted, I am not a fan of photos on canvas either! I would probably pick a picture of my family, my cat or a landscape! all would be gorgeous.
I love this giveaway idea, and this shop! I work at a photography studio and it is SO expensive to get photos on canvas or even just on gator board. This shop is a much more affordable option!
I would love love love a large, beautiful canvas to show off a favorite wedding picture. My first anniversary comes up in May, but my husband deploys this month, so I won’t get to share it with him. This would be a nice anniversary present to myself.
: P
I really like the wood mounted option! Not sure what I would choose to print, but this would come in handy when I move into my new apartment in a few weeks!
The wood mounting is my favorite!
I would pick out a photo of my boyfriend and I since we don’t have many photos framed.
Ooh, I’d love to win this! I have some photos from our trip to Scotland last year that I’d love to put on canvas!
Your photos came out great! 🙂 I agree, the wood mounting is my favorite.
I like all the options, but perhaps the wood mounted and canvas the best.
Great ideas!
I love the wood mounting, although the acrylic looks really cool too!
Truth be told, we don’t have a single picture of us up. We’ve been together 10 years, married for 4, but have never gotten past hanging just art and mirrors.
One day.
Wow, that would be lovely!
i’m kind of all about the canvas.
and since i’m single right now (the only ‘male’ companion i have being my laptop, chuck, who is obediently attached to my hip) and spend most of my days blogging, i’d love to blow up a black and white picture of myself that i have taken while practicing being my own site’s sole photographer. selfish? maybe a little, but hey, i AM single, right? 😉
I really like the canvas! My housemates and I foster cats for my local animal rescue, and I’d love to wall-mount a photo of my very first foster cat. The nice canvas version would replace the cheaply framed photo I have hanging there. 🙂
I’ve been meaning to get some of my travel pictures printed on canvas for a while. I hadn’t seen the wood mounting options yet, but I think I like those even better.
I would love to try the acrylic mounting for a very modern and bright photo!
I’m surprised that the wood mounting turned out so crisp. The look beautiful! I’ve always wanted a few pretty large canvas prints of my kids for our living room or possible up our staircase… or my studio… Okay, I can’t decide!! But I’d go with canvas. 🙂
I like the wood option that you chose. I have a few posters mounted that way, and it’s a great way to mix things up, so not everything in the house is framed too similarly. It really highlights the art/photos themselves. I would love to get a few photos the beach near my parents house in New Jersey and Ithaca (where I went to college) – I moved to Canada a couple years ago, and while I love it here, some reminders of home are always good.
Those look wonderful! I’d love to get a print or two
I love wood mounting. Some of my favorite pics of all time are wood mounted!
I LOVE the wood mounting. I should really do this with wedding photos. Still haven’t gotten around to that…oops!
I like the canvas the best. I would love to get some pictures of my son (4 months old) on a canvas print.
I love the wood mounting, too. My boyfriend just got back from Afghanistan so I finally moved in and am helping him become a more hip, stylish home owner. I would probably take my own picture (I love sun sets!) and use that 🙂
I really like the wood framing you did! Those photos are precious!
If I won, I’d love to buy a print of me and my husband on our wedding day, since my mother insisted on keeping all our large prints when I moved out LOL

Ohhhh, I love the wood mounting AND the canvas!
the wood mounting is brilliant! I just got back from a year in the UK and would love to blow up a few of my favorite shots of London.
I really like the wood mounting and regular framing!
This would be perfect bc I’m in the process of decorating my new apartment!!
I love your pics, they are so sweet.
we traveled to Amsterdam and snapped some great photos. I would do a picture on canvas to hang in our living room.
Its simple! Wood mounting is the classiest!! Looove it!
i would go with the wood mounting. i never want to put pictures up on the walls because we have been moving a lot lately (husband is military) but we are finally going to move soon and we are actually going to stay there for a while! sooo, i think i may order something even if i dont win this contest! i have some photos i have taken that i am proud of that i think would be great to have printed…no people in them haha.
I love the Canvas!! We need to get a family photo on our walls!
Those wall murals are HOT!
I have a few pics I would love to see blown up that big…. awesome 🙂
Love the wood mounting – would be perfect to print one of our engagement or wedding photos for my husband for v-day!
I would love the wood i think. There’s a few pics I can think of that would work well.
I think I would do the wood mounting. I agree that the acrylic is too expensive. I have gone back and forth about canvas but I think the wood is a great choice!
I love canvas. I have an 11 week old and I’d love to blow up one of the photos I took and have it printed on canvas.
LOVE the wood mounting. What a great site!
I love the acrylic! I need something for my bare walls.
Very, very cool! I’m obsessed with the acrylic option!!
Like you, I would choose the wood mounted photo. The only photo I have of my little family of 3 that I have up is from almost 4 years ago so I would choose a recent family picture.
The acrylic option looks so professional, but I do love the canvas as well. I would love to get some of my pictures of Montana into my new Boston apartment – just a small but special reminder of where I came from.
Finally, an easy way to turn photos into art!! Love this giveaway. And LOVE the acrylic!
very cool! I like the wood mounted look, I think I would do that if I won!
I would have a hard time choosing between a canvas and a framed print! Thanks for this giveaway!
Love it, great pictures of you guys! I like the wood and how the goes to the edge, less frame.
I love the wood mounting! It’s just lovely!
Love the wood mounting!
I love the wood mount and the canvas! Ahh!!!
oh i would want to make picture on canvas!
i love the wood mounting best. It lets the focus stay on the photo and looks classic. My husband and I are expecting our first baby in may so our first family photo would be the picture i would choose.
I love the wood mounted! perfect for pics of my baby
I too love the acrylic & wood!
I would def choose the wood options and get a pic of my boys together.
Ahh! I can’t decide…I love them all! I really love the canvas, though!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the wood mounting! That is so cool!
the wood mounted option would look perfect with a black and white series i recently did. i have 6 in the series so i’ll take any discount i can get! thanks for offering this!!

LOVE the canvas one… Thanks for the site. Regardless of whether i win i will be buying a few!!

I like the wood mounting or the canvas….never had either and would be cool to try. I would like to print some of my nature photographs as art around the house.
Yours turned out great!
I really like the wood mounting as well, thanks so much!
the wood mounting ones look really cool!
love the acrylic and wood! moving into my own place for the first time next year with some friends and a cute photo of us would be perfect for our new living room 🙂
They have an excellent selection of artist to choose from- including several prints of max ernsts work,
the wood mounting is so neat!!
Those look great!! Awesome offer!!
we are redoing my step sons room and i could really use a piece for him! Im not even sure what I would get, there are so many options!

my sister just had a baby, and this would be the absolute perfect gift for her! i took pictures on the day of the babe’s birth, and I would love to surprise her with an art.com print!
The wood mounting is my favorite as it seems very simple and classic.
I love the wood mounting idea! I just reorganized my room and it would be great to add new art to it.
I dig the canvas.
This looks so wonderful! I love the wood mounting!
i’m digging the wood mounting! i would love to have a collage of my husband and my wedding photo and perhaps in the near future a belly shot as we are trying to start a family now 🙂
I’m leaning towards canvas….and I know just the picture i want to have printed!! Keeping my fingers crossed…
So beautiful! I would love to get a canvas print!
I love the canvas print . . . and I’d have so much fun deciding which picture of my daughter to get printed!
Oh, I love love love to print photos of canvas! Beautiful!
i love the canvas prints! i would HAVE to get something for my sister of her adorable girls. too cute.
I would get a few of my favorite photos as canvas prints to add to my gallery wall. I’ve been trying to figure out how to incorporate honeymoon photos and random snapshots into my home decorations.
Although I like the acrylic- I would go with the wood frame – it goes with what I already have!
love the looks of yours so i think i would try the wood mounted.

LOVE the wood! i desperately need to print my photographs and frame them…but i do have some on my wall at least!
I love the wood mounted photos!!! My fingers are crossed!
the wood mounting is incredibly unique and feels so organic. i would love a piece in my home!
The wood mounting is my favorite!
I’m sooo interested in the wood mounting option. It’s so unique I have this photo from my wedding of me and my husband during our first dance and its dark so it looks like an outline of us and I think this would make it look amazing on the wood mounting
